  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Cook the coated chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Add fresh lemon juice, chicken broth, and dry white wine into the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Return the chicken to the skillet and coat it in the tangy sauce, heating through for an additional 1-2 minutes.
